Folio. Black and gilt frame. Very Rare. 

Mr. Albert Addison Lewis writes: “One thinks of George Washington 
as a stern, tremendous man, proudly erect on a restive white stallion, 
commanding and superior. But George Washington’s gardens at 
Mount Vernon make us know that, like all of the early Americans, this 
aristocrat had a gentler side, a beauty loving soul that found content 
and rest in planning the hedgerows of his garden, after directing the 
destinies of the Nation.”

is a fine impression, showing one of the interesting events of American 
Farm life. Each face is so cleverly delineated, and the depth of the 
barn is so well brought out by the sunlight and shade, that one un- 
consciously becomes a participant in this homely scene, rather than just 


an onlooker.

horses, and the study of big game.
